*Rose rode the sleigh down the mountain with her father, Max, and Cindy. Whoville officially welcoming Grinch, Max, and Rose, with Martha surprising Grinch with a passionate kiss and Grinch proposing to Martha.

(Grinch's P.O.V.) -6 months later; June 30th.

I took a deep breath, tried to tug my suit into position nervously, waiting for her, the one who incredibly said yes to my proposal, my Martha. I heard a little whuff, and I looked down to Max who sat by me, my best 'man', as he has been there for me, Martha, and Rose for years. He admittedly looked good in his black bowtie.

"I ain't scared, Max, just fluttering nervous!". I proclaimed with a hiss to him, and Max seemed to roll his eyes, and I gave a harrumph under my breath. I heard a giggle from Rose who looks great in her neat sky blue dress, and she's in charge of the wedding rings.

Rose spoke softly, "Daddy, it's okay to be nervous, but you gotta be real happy because you're finally marrying Mom!". I shot back playfully, "I am beyond happy, I am exalted!". Rose grinned widely, nodding as she understood why I said it.

Then I froze, stiff as a board as a song came on, one of Martha's favorites. I stared down the aisle as the crowd turned their bodies around in their seats to look back to the back of the aisle which was simply another cave room in my lair. I saw Cindy Lou coming down, throwing flowers happily as she skipped in her nice red dress, and she joined her family after a wink at Rose who blushed lightly.

I smirked to myself about the attraction of Rose and Cindy, then the music flared louder, and I looked straight, and all the air seemed to leave my lungs all at once as my heart thundered at the sight of her...Martha.

She is a gorgeous angel in her beautiful white gown, her lush red smile directed at me, and I exhaled finally, "Wow!". I knew I could barely remember the crowd's reactions and such, but only Martha's reaction matters to me, after all, she's coming down the aisle, to marry me, the Grinch.

(Martha's P.O.V.)

I never imagined that Grinch would look so stupefied and awed when he saw me, and I was then delighted by the wide smile as he said only one thing I couldn't hear over the song, but could read easily. I blushed under my skin as I walked on, and I was relieved that no one said anything, just the song becoming softer and softer, and my family looking at me.

Grinch kept staring at me with this intense, gentle expression which sent shivers down my spine, and I raised an eyebrow with a slight smirk to shock him further, and to my amusement, he actually rubbed his neck shyly. In all my dreams, this one is finally coming true. Married to Grinch, able to do everything from PDAs (Public Displays of Affection) to making love.

Yes, Rose is my daughter in heart and relationship, but she's not biologically mine as the Who-God created her for me and Grinch all those years ago. And I'd be delighted for another daughter or a son to be part of this family. Grinch likes the idea as well.

As I came closer, I admired Grinch's suit. He's very handsome in his spiffy black and gray suit, and he even lost a few pounds in the last few months, surprising me. Rose is pretty in her dress, and Max looked adorable. And much to Whoville's surprise yet excitement, Cindy's father, Lou was elected as Mayor after Augustus was extorted from the position.

So, things were going rather well in everything. And today is another change; the wedding of I and Grinch, with the addition of Rose to officiate it further. And it is a perfect day for a perfect wedding! After Grinch reached for me with his slender, long fingers, I barely remember the ceremony except saying the words 'I do', the fantastic and passionate kiss, and the announcement from the priest, "I give you the Grinch family; Grinch, Martha, Max, and Rose Grinch!".

(Cindy's P.O.V.)

I cheered the loudest, I think, out of everybody here at Mr. Grinch's lair. Mr. Grinch called out, "Two songs, then you're all out of here!". Martha chuckled, "You heard my husband. Clear the floor so we can have our first dance!". Everybody grabbed all the plastic chairs, split open like a ocean to let through Martha and Mr. Grinch into a dance upon the humongous cave floor.

I felt a nudge into my shoulder, and I looked over to see Rose smiling brightly, "Wanna dance, Cindy?". I nodded, "Sure!". Rose tugged me into the dance floor, and we heard the music turn into a upbeat song from the romantic song which Martha and Mr. Grinch, my parents, and a few other couples were dancing to. I heard barking from Max, and I look over to see him dancing around on his hind legs, his forepaws in the air, twirling around here and there.

I giggled as I heard Rose laugh, and I smiled at the happy faces all around, and I knew I started all of this. I startled slightly at Rose's voice, "Cindy, you alright?". I nodded as I refocused back again, "Just amazed at the fact that this is happening, all because of me.". Rose grinned softly, "It's true I saved Dad and Mom from being bitter, lonely people, but you saved us all because you wanted to have a happy Christmas for everyone.".

"Speaking of, there was quite something I've forgotten as to thank you.". Rose then commented thoughtfully, and I tilted my head curiously, "What's that?". Rose smirked before she dipped me, kissing me on the lips, my very first kiss! I panted in amazement as Rose set me back on the ground properly, and I looked at Rose fully, her beautiful eyes shining at me, her lips caught between her teeth in nervous curiosity, and her body bouncing upon the heels of her feet.

I then realized that Rose had a crush on me, and to my delight, I realized I actually liked the kiss, and I smiled shyly, "You really like me, Rose?". Rose raised an eyebrow, "What do you think?". I realized that the kiss were her answer, and I wanted to do it myself, and I bent forward, leaning up slightly as Rose is a tad taller than me, and kissed her back.

After we broke up, I grabbed her hand, squeezed it lightly, "I really like you too.". Rose pulled out about the biggest smile I'd ever saw, and she exhaled, "You're family to me.". I smiled widely at that, and tugged her hand, "Come on, let's ask your parents if you can sleep over at my house.". Rose laughed, "That's about the best thing I'd heard tonight!".

I knew Mr. Grinch and Martha saw something between me and Rose, through I don't know about my family, but they gotta have seen it too as I and Rose literally are best friends, and if I wasn't mistaken about the recent kiss, girlfriends then. I know we are young, but we can pace ourselves, and I trust Rose on my life.
